Rémy was expected to be unveiled as the club’s latest acquisition of the summer but Liverpool have pulled out of the deal. |
| The club have refused to comment on the reasons why the deal has not gone through. The striker had flown to Boston last week to link up with the side while they continue their tour of the US after Liverpool met the release clause in his contract. Personal terms had been agreed and he was set to wear the No7 shirt vacated by Luis Suárez after his move to Barcelona. | The club have refused to comment on the reasons why the deal has not gone through.

| He was expected to become what would have been Liverpool’s fifth new signing of the summer, with the club having already recruited Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Emre Can and Lazar Markovic. | |
| It emerged on Friday that Lallana could miss the start of the new season after he injured a knee in training in Boston. The 26-year-old England midfielder, who joined the club from Southampton earlier this month, sustained damage to his lateral collateral ligament. | |
| Rémy suffered from a calf injury last season which ruled him out of a number of games for Newcastle United, where he was on loan from QPR. Liverpool are expected to identify new targets now and are not thought to want to resurrect the deal for the French striker. |
